European champions Greece were beaten 3-2 by Hungary in a Euro 2008 warm up, giving credence to coach Otto Rehhagel's contention that they will be underdogs in Austria and Switzerland next month. The Greeks showed indifferent form against a new Hungary side playing for the first time under Dutch coach Erwin Koeman and might have lost more heavily.

Ioannis Amanatidis's opening goal for Greece on the stroke of half time came out of the blue, a misunderstanding in the home defence giving the striker a free shot. Hungary hit back with goals from Balazs Dzsudzak, Roland Juhasz and Krisztian Vadocz between the 47th and 63rd minutes, with Nikos Liberopoulos pulling one back for Greece in the final minute.

Dirk Kuyt staked a claim for a place in the Holland team by scoring the opening goal in a 3-0 win in Rotterdam against Ukraine. The Liverpool striker netted with a well placed header midway through the first half and playmaker Rafael van der Vaart set up Klaas Jan Huntelaar seven minutes before the interval to double the lead. After 63 minutes, Van der Vaart showed his brilliance again when a 50-metre pass set up substitute Ryan Babel to score the third goal with a chip over goalkeeper Vyacheslav Kernozenko seconds after the winger had come on.

An excellent header by captain Niko Kovac gave Croatia a 1-0 win over Moldova in their penultimate warm-up in Rijeka. The 36-year-old Kovac, who will retire after the finals, rose above his markers to power in an Ivan Rakitic corner on the half-hour.

Co-hosts Switzerland beat Slovakia 2-0 in Lugano thanks to goals from Valon Behrami and Alex Frei. Captain Frei was lively up front throughout, unsettling Slovakia's defence and eventually helping secure a comfortable win to end Switzerland's run of four successive defeats.

The home team's pressure paid off in the 56th minute when Slovak keeper Jan Mucha could only parry a shot into the path of Behrami, who scored from just outside the six-yard box. Behrami put in an impressive display generally and was the provider seven minutes later, setting up Frei for his goal.
